The lamp is from straydogdesigns.com and costs $695, 30" tall, described as "paper-machine and glass lamp in white." I don't know about you, but even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't be spending anywhere near $695 for a single lamp! I checked the website and right now, this lamp is on sale for $520. It's handmade by artisans in Mexico and uses all non-toxic materials, 4-6 weeks to delivery.
There are several options available for artichoke lamps - which shocked me, because it's not exactly what I think of when it comes to "design," LOL!
1. Lowest priced Option 1
At Kirklands, one of the places I start when shopping for lamps online, here is a 27" tall off white artichoke table lamp with faux wood base, made from polystyrene and polyurethane. The lamp finish includes a distressed finish with gold on the edges of the leaves. The color is not white, though, and the shade is an "oatmeal" color. Regular price is $90, on sale right now for $72, not including shipping (pictured below):
2. Lowest priced Option 2
Also from Kirklands, a more petite artichoke lamp, 24" tall in an off white distressed finish with gold edges on the leaves, also made of polystyrene and polyurethane with an oatmeal colored drum shade. The price is the same as for the Option 1 (above), $90 regular price, $72 right now on sale, not including shipping (pictured below):
3. Low priced Option
Offered at Amazon (which includes free shipping on orders over $25), this is the Kenroy Home Outdoor Artichoke Table Lamp, 30" tall in a Roman white finish on resin and off-white tapered drum shade. It is built to be used outdoors with a heavy duty cord and bulb cover but there's no reason it couldn't be used inside, priced at $120 (pictured below):
4. Mid priced Option 1
Also offered at Amazon (free shipping on orders over $25) is the Crestview Collection Artichoke White Glass Lamp, 28" tall, which includes a clear crystal round "footer" on top of a black square base, and it appears the round finial is glass. The finish is true white and the shade is white linen. Priced at $152 (pictured below):
5. Mid priced Option 2
From Ballard Designs, this lamp gives you the option of purchasing the base only if you don't care for the tapered shade it comes with (lamp with shade $159). The base alone of this 31" tall white finished resin lamp on sale for $111 (regular price $139). Shipping is charged at 15% of the full retail price on total order value of $200 or less, so the shipping would be 15% of $139 or $21, for a total cost of $132. The lamp, pictured below, is shown with a different drum shade than the one it comes with for $159:
6. Higher priced Option
The color on this lamp and shade - certainly not white! The shade is beige and the body is called "almond." I included it in my options because I like the size and shape of the lamp. I would spray paint it gloss white and get a new white straight sided drum shade. Pictured below is the Pacific Coast Light Artichoke Table Lamp offered by 1-800Lighting. Minimal information was offered on this lamp, it appears to be made of resin and has a clear round base that is either acrylic or glass, priced at $199 with free shipping:
